Stephanie Kniebler gets a ride on the back of her buddy Kim Kenney’s CB360 while she’s finishing her project. Taking up the back is Chantal Smith on her sportbike. They ride in a sort of riding club, a bunch of awesome motoladies called ‘the Miss-Fires’ (fb).
I love this photo so much. We’ve got a classic smaller bike, retro full face helmet (the Gringo from Biltwell), a 3/4 helmet (probably the Biltwell Bonanza) AND a modern full face with sport bike. This is what it’s all about, people. Riding whatever you want, however you want, whenever you want!
Love motorcycles, and pay it forward! The meaning of life.
Mary McGee is a pioneer in American motorcycle racing, thanks to her untamable determination and a spirit as warm as her smile. Her excitement for motorcycling, especially racing, is contagious even in her eighties. She was the first woman to receive an FIM racing license in the United States, first woman to complete the Baja 1000, and the first woman to race the Baja 500 solo. These aren’t her only firsts, either. She was also the first woman in motocross and road racing in the States. McGee was rightly inducted into the AMA Hall of Fame in 2018.
